A steam pipe is intended to be insulated with two layers of insulating materials of different thermal conductivities. For minimum heat transfer to take place_________________?
  • (A)  The better insulation material should be put just next to pipe (i.e., inside)
  • (B)  The better insulating material should be put outside
  • (C)  Either of the insulating material could be put on either side
  • (D)  Steam temperature is considered before deciding as to which insulating material is to be put inside (i.
  • (E)  , just next to the pipe)
